Open up the gate 

Let my prayer rise up 

And I struggle every day just to get myself up 

For the force of gravity that keeps sinking my ship 

Time again one is bound to slip 

We rip through these days 

We flip through the age 

Survive stay alive we won't trip in the haze 

Lost in the maze 

I know it's just a phase 

But I dread it dread it dread it 

I won't let my life go to waste 

I'm a struggla 



Rise and never fall cause I been through it all 



So ask yourself and think twice 

Would you want to live your life 



Oh we pay the cost 

The pain and all the loss 



Sell the youth them dreams of ease and fame 



Will be a breeze when you got a big name 

Cash fast fast cars to escape all of the pain 



Escape your brain and so it stays the same 



We would not lay down 



We won't live in vain 



We won't be drained 



And I got to maintain 



I won't let my life go to waste 

I'm a struggla 



Rise and never fall cause I been through it all 



So ask yourself and think twice 

Would you want to live your life 



Oh we pay the cost 

The pain and all the loss 



There's something wrong with the system 

That leaves it's people victim 



Keep on slipping can't seem to catch up 

Try to rise at night but my legs they stay stuck 



There's something wrong in the system 

That leaves it's children victim 



... 



I won't let my life go to waste 

I'm a struggla 



Rise and never fall cause I been through it all 



So ask yourself and think twice 

Would you want to live your life 



Oh we pay the cost 

The pain and all the loss 



Oh we pay the cost 

The pain and all the loss 



Rise and never fall cause I been through it all 



So ask yourself and think twice 

Would you want to live your life 



Oh we pay the cost 

The pain and all the loss 



... 



Open up the gates let my prayer rise up 



Oh we pay the cost 

The pain and all the loss
